The province links the cutting edge city-style of Toronto and Ottawa with dramatic waterways, enchanting lakes, mysterious islands and awesome forested wilderness. Ontario is inspiring.

Experience a sense of place. From shipwrecks and deserted islands to lighthouse tours and world-class gardens, the vacation experiences are bountiful. Only in Ontario, the Stratford Festival provides world-class theatre with performances for all ages. Music festivals, barn dances, fresh produce markets and all-you-can-pick berry fields provide a unique connection to the land. A unique micro-climate in the region allows vineyards to produce fine ice wine.

Search a cornfield maze or learn how to milk a cow. Cruise on a 19th century coal-operating steamship in Muskoka or a paddle wheeler in the 1000 Islands. Pan for gold in Timmins; unearth minerals in Bancroft; find amethysts near Thunder Bay or collect four-million-year-old sea fossils at Rock Glen Conservation Area.
